Canada's first nuclear power reactor, located on the Ottawa River IS miles upstream fromthe Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories went critical in;April, 1962 and first fed power into the Ontario Hydro grid on June 4, 1962. This bibliography, with author index,, lists publications on the Nuclear Power Demonstration reactor by date, up to January 1, 1970. A design study of nuclear reactors for the economic production of electricity was begun at Chalk River early in 1954 by a group from various Canadian companies and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). As a result, a joint project to build a demonstration nuclear power reactor was undertaken in 1955 with AECL responsible for development/Canadian General Electric Co. for detailed design and construction, and Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario for the site, turbines and generators, and operation of the completed station. The original Nuclear Power Demonstration reactor CNPD-1) was designed for a vertical pressure vessel. In 1957 construction was halted in favour of another design, NPD-2, which uses horizontal pressure tubes and has an output of 25 MW(e). This present reactor and generating station is now known simply as NPD. It was converted to a boiling water regime in the heat transport system in 1968. The following abbreviations are used in identifying authors: CGE - Canadian General Electric Co., Ltd., Peterborough, Ontario HEPC - Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario, Rolphton, Ontario. Most of the publications listed may be obtained from the Scientific Document Distribution Office, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. Chalk River, Ontario Revised January 1970 AECL-2205 (Rev) Bibliographie annotée des publications réiatives au NPD •*•'••• .•..•.-.. par D. Radley et F.S. Armstrong Le réacteur du NPD, la premiere centrale nucléaire du Canada, située en bordure de l'Outaouais à 15 milles en amont des Laboratoires nucléaires de Chalk River, a divergé en avril 1962 et il a fourni pour la première fois de l'électricité au réseau ontarien le 4*juin 1962. Cette bibliographie, qui compo-te un index d'auteurs, énumere chronologiquement les publications ayant paru au sujet du NFD jusqu'au Ie' janvier 1970. Une étude préliminaire visant à mettre au point un réacteur nucléaire capable de produire à bon compte de l'électricité a été entreprise a Chalk River au début de 1954 par des ingénieurs de diverses entreprises canadiennes et de l'EACL. Un projet conjoint a résulté de cette étude: celui de construire, en 1955, un réacteur électronucléaire de démonstration. L'EACL était responsable du développement, la Canadian General Electric (CGE) de la conception des détails et de la construction et la Commission électrique de l'Ontario du site, des turbines, des génératrices et de l'exploitation éventuelle de la centrale. Le réacteur original, NPD-1, de la centrale NPD devait avoir une cuve sous pression verticale. En 1957, on a préféré un autre concept, le NPD-2, utilisant des tubes horizontaux et ayant une puissance de 25 MWe. Ce réacteur qui alimente la centrale actuelle s'appelle simplement NPD. En 1968, son système de calopôrtage a été converti a l'eau bouillante.

ABSTRACT The bucklings of heavy water moderated lattices of ZEEP rods (3.25 cm diameter natural U metal contained in aluminum tubes) were measured by the flux mapping method in the ZED-2 reactor. The isotopic composition of trie moderator was 99.46 atom percent D2O.

In this work, the neutronic models of these critical exper­ iments were investigated by TSUNAMI, a sensitivity and uncertainty (SjU) analysis tool, part of the SCALE6 reactor physics package from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. TSUNAMI consists of different modules that are capable of calculating the values of keff and the uncertainties in keff due to uncertainties in the nu­ clear data. It generates energy-dependent sensitivity coefficients from which the percentage change in keff due to perturbations in nuclear data values can be determined. The calculated keff has a bias which is the difference between calculation and measurement.

While the report focuses on power reactors, it also includes prototype, demonstration and research reactor fuel wastes held by AECL, which are included in the NWMO mandate. As of June 30, 2020, a total of approximately 3.0 million used CANDU fuel bundles (about 58,200 tonnes of heavy metal (t-HM)) were in storage at the reactor sites, an increase of about 90,250 bundles since the 2019 NWMO Nuclear Fuel Waste Projections report.
